Packing Instruction with Handling Unit

Hi all
We are currently using packing instruction functionality in SAP and we need to pack the product in different boxes based upon the ordered quantity. for example, on the packing instruction, we have 3 boxes (3 different packaging materials to handle different quantities). I am using min qty function as well.
Box 1 Qty >1 - QTY <12
Box 2 Qty >12 - Qty <25
Box 3 Qty > 26
Now if the order qty is 30, then I would ideally like the box 3 to be chosen automatically for packing, and if it is 15, then I would like box 2 to be chosen automatically.
System does not seem to have any logic to do the calculation above. If I am missing something, please advise. I have already tried alternate packing instruction function but that also does not choose the box size for us automatically.
Regards
Jai

If you want to introduce some custom packing instructions you can implement BADI BADI_HU_AUTOPACK.
In method METHOD_PROPOSAL you can pack your materials as you want - based on different conditions.

Who familiar with Handling Unit Management(HUM) module?

Hi,
It was said that if we active the HUM module in Clint level. Then the packing BOX number will not be allowed to be duplicated.
Whether this means that VEKP-EXIDV, this field will not be allowed to be duplicated??
Could anyone help my understanding on this? Thanks!
Thanks.

Hi,
HANDLING UNITS CONFIGURATION:
The SAP Handling Unit Management system allows you to manage the entire movement of the handling units and the materials they contain rather than tracking each material individually.

A handling unit is a physical unit that consists of the packaging materials (load carrier / packaging material) and the goods contained therein. A handling unit is always a combination of materials and packaging materials. All the information contained in the material items, such as batches and serial numbers, is always available by way of the handling units.
Handling units can be nested, meaning that you can also create new handling units from several handling units as often as you like.
Handling units have unique, scannable identification numbers that can be formed according to standards such as EAN 128 or SSCC.
Figure 1: Handling unit example
Structure
The handling unit object contains the following attributes:
     Identification number
     Dimensions
     Weight
     Volume
     Status
     Materials and quantities
     Packaging materials
     Packing instructions
A handling unit consists of a handling unit header and handling unit items. For identification purposes, it is given a unique number.
Handling unit header
The header data of a handling unit is divided in the following way:
     Weight/Volume/Dimensions
     General data
     Means-of-transport data
     Additional data
     Output determination procedure
For more information about each of these detailed points, see Editing detailed data for handling units.
Status
The handling unit is linked to general status management. In this way, the various physical states (planned or implemented) and other attributes (weighed, loaded, blocked or posted goods issue) of handling units can be documented.
You can use the HU_ST_INIT user parameter when you create handling units without object reference to set which initial status the handling unit is to have when it is created.
If you want to implement a status of your own, you can define a user-specific procedure for the packaging material type (see also Define Packaging Material Types).
Handling unit item
The items of a handling unit can consist of material items, packaging materials or other handling units that appear in an overview. For more information about this overview, see the Contents section of Editing detailed data for handling units.
To access the item data of an individual handling unit, select the handling unit concerned and choose Goto  Detailed HU data  Contents.
Integration
Handling units can be used in all processes within the supply chain.
Hope this will helps you and Please Reward If Really Helpful,

Destructive Samples with Handling Units

Dear Experts,
I just wanted to check if there's anyone who has encountered destructive inspection for samples with Handling Units and how this was managed (via enhancements/operational workaround).
Based on SAP KBA 1771624, destructive sampling will not work for HU due to all or nothing approach. We are currently considering the following options but would like to get your insights on this in case there is a better approach for this problem.
1. During Goods Receipt, sample usage quantity will be packed in separate HU from the rest of the quantity. This option will work provided that sample usage quantity is known before quality inspection. e.g. I will recieve 100 pcs of MAT A, 15 pcs for sample usage will be packed under HU1 and the remaining 85 pcs under HU2. UD stock posting will be performed in 2 steps, 1st for GI to sample usage for HU2 and 2nd for transfer to unrestricted/blocked/etc. for HU2
2. Receive full quantity under 1 HU. Complete quality inspection (results recording, ud and stock posting). Unpack the material to be able to perform GI to sample for the quantity that was used for destructive inspection.

Hi Craig/Vignesh,
Thank you for your providing your inputs on this. I will take them into consideration.
I have another option to address this requirement, that is to (1) receive the material into non HU storage location (2) perform UD and stock posting, i.e. GI to sample usage and unrestricted-use/blocked stocks (3) transfer unrestricted-use/blocked stocks to HU managed location.
Do you think this will be more efficient operationally versus the other 2 options above?
I am trying to find the most effective way to address this requirement with minimum impact to Logistics operation. Most of our materials are managed in HU and destructive sampling is regularly done so users will be performing the steps in SAP a lot.

Reversal of delivery with handling unit management/HU #

Hello all,
I would like to know whether the delivery with handling unit management is reversed using LTOG. if it is reversed using LTOG in which storage type would the stock be posted back and would the packaging material of the handling unit be the same when the delivery is canceled and posted back in stock. pl. advise.
Thanks,
Maxx

Hi Ramana,
Thanks for your reply.
in your answer you have said it is not possible to reverse a TO with HU.
But is it possible to reverse a delivery where the HUs are created only after packing the delivery items. if it is possible then how the packaging materials in the handling unit that are reversed are handled and where are the stocks that are returned after the delivery is cancelled is posted - i would like to know the standard sap storage type in which the stocks are posted once the delivery is cancelled or reversed.
Thanks,
Maxx

List of Inbound Deliveries with handling units

I am looking for standard report where i can get the list of inbound deliveries with handling units linked to them.
I saw VL06I but could not get the details.
Regards
Sameer

I think only HUMO (tab: "Assignment to objects") is the transaction in which you can get a list with IBD no. and HU no. However, the selection screen is not be the best...
In VL06I you also have the handling units ("List Inbound Deliveries" button) both on selection screen and in the report.
Please carefully read OSS notes 368917 and 122282 about this.

Stock view with Handling Unit

Hi everybody:
I need to be able to see the stock for a some materials that are managed in Handling Units.
I need to consult the total stock for each one of these materials, but they have atleast 2 Packing Instructions, then because this, I need some functionallity to see the stock in each Packing Instructions.
Is there any way to get this ?
Please & thanks
Omar Perea

Thanks Jürgen L:
I got a very useful you help, however, is this possible to use with the Availability Check since SD when this functional module creates a Sales Order, and then, they try to check de availability for the materials, is possible this is vinculated with the Packing Instructions?
Please letme know if this is possible or if I need to up another issue.

Determine costs for packing when using handling units

Hi Experts,
How can I track the costs for packing process and packing material when I am using Handling Units to represent the packing ?
Is there any idea?
The only way I see for tracking the costs is to create a packing operation when creating the FP (and do not use HU).
Thanks,
Artashes

Thanks for the answer Mario, but let me ask more precise question.
I have a finished product AAA which is not packed. Now I have a requirement to pack it.
So before hearing about HU, I would add a new operation step to AAA recipe, new resource and a packing material to AAA's BOM.
For this option I don't have questions.
But now I want to use HU. so I create packaging instructions, and do the transactions
- COWBPACK - Work Order - Finished Product - to pack materials in process order
- COWBHUWE - Goods Receipt for Work Order - to do a GR for process order.
And where can I consider the labour and packing material expenses here? I even don't have a resource which is doing a packing. so I can't do scheduling...maybe I don't understand the usage of HU?
Thanks and Regards,
Artashes

How to inventory packing material on Handling Units frm Inbound Del @ PO?

I am receiving raw material against a PO via VL31N, where I pack into handling units. When I post GR for this inbound delivery, the Raw Material is getting a 101 but the packaging material is not being considered. Is there a way I can get the packaging material into inventory? I did verify the following settings as suggested in a different post here and yet the Packing materials are not considered. Any help is appreciated.
1. there is a plant in your HU (you can control this in your packing material type in transaction VHAR; set plant determination either to A or B).
2. there is an item category in your HU (you can control this in transaction 0184; create the following entry: EL / VERP / PACK / / ELP. If you now create an inbound delivery type EL and your packing material has item category group VERP the system will assign item category ELP to your HU.
If both requirements are met the system will generate an item in your inbound delivery after packing.
Then make sure that the item category of the HU (ELP for example) has movement type 501 assigned to it in transaction 0VLP.
If you then post the GR for your inbound delivery, the packing material will be posted on stock.

Hello,
It is well described in:
[Note 831204 - Delivery items for packaging materials|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/831204]
pay atention on this prerequisit
For the relevant delivery types the 'ItemRequirement' routines
have to allow items which does not refer to a sales order.
Standard routine 202.

Auto Confirmation of PICK TO's with Handling Units !!

I want to Create an Outbound Delivery.
I then want to automatically create pick transfer orders, in the background.
I then want to automatically confirm these transfer orders, in the background.
I am creating my Outbound Delivery with reference to a Sales Order using transaction VL10A.
I have set-up Output Type WMTA to Auto Create my Pick Transfer Orders for the Outbound Delivery, when it is created.
I have set Movement Type 601 to Auto Confirm (TO item can be confirm. immed = x/ AND Propose confirmation = x).
I have set Source Storage Type for Picking to NOT require Confirmation (Stock removal requires confirmation = BLANK).
BUT the transfer orders that are created are NOT confirmed immediately.
I am using handling unit management but wouldnt see this as the problem?! anyone any ideas??
thanks,
A

Hi,
In trasaction code "OMLX" make the settingss as shown below,
Against your warehosue number and movement type
Confirm Immediatly = X
Propose Confirmation = X
No Two Step confirmation = X
Screen TO Quit = "Blank" (No value should be entered)
It worked for me, please check and let me know.

QM lot with Handling Unit Mgt in MD04

Dear All,
It seems it is not possible to see the inspection lots in MD04 when using HUM. Any ideas what development is required to make these appear in stock requirements list?

Yes, that is true but you can still do it by changing a few things. I have just finished my investigation and here are the learnings.Finally, I couldn't use it because we also use APO and to send inspection lots to APO standard SAP needs to be changed which could be risky.
The OSS note I mentioned says: "......but also using transactions such as Transaction HUMO or Transaction VLMOVE.". This is not very convincing for me because I can disallow particular movement types for transactions HUMO and VLMOVE.I would really like to know other impacts. It is like SAP just decided not to investigate the functionality any further:-).
To get the insp lots into MD04, you need to chnage view MDQM using se11 and add entry: Table JEST; Field Name STAT EQ u2018I0443u2019. This entry needs to be included before the last line with u2018ORu2019 in the previous step and u2018ANDu2019 operator in this step.Also you need to comment the check on handling units in includes LM61XF2Q and LQPWEF10. These chnages will get the inspection lots in MD04
But as I said, it is modification in SAP code so could be dangerous because of unknown risks. The OSS note does not explicitly tell other potential impacts.
If you are using APO as we do, then you need to make further chnages in function: QAPO_GET_LOTS_FOR_APO.
Include LCLOTUXX>>LCLOTU01
Function pool- SAPLCLOT
    if SPRQ is not set or HUM is set => delete the lot!!!
    if l_qals_wa-insmk is not set    => delete the lot!!!
      IF    l_stat_wa-sprq IS INITIAL
         OR l_stat_wa-hum EQ c_x
         OR l_qals_wa-insmk IS INITIAL
         OR l_qals_wa-lmengezub = 0.
        DELETE g_qals_tab.
But do it at your own risk!

Updating deliveries with handling unit

Hi Gurus,
Good afternoon all of you. Let me share my problem with all of you. I am modifying some deliveries through VL02N with pick quantity and handling unit to zero. I am modifying all most all 500 to 1500 deliveries daily right now and they may increase. All this procedure is done manually. Requirement is client wants all this procedure automatically. So I would like to ask you that is there any function module for updating the delivery with the modified picking quantity and handling unit? Please suggest me how can I approach? I am not asking entire logic. Just I want is it possible and is there any FM? Your help will be greatly appreciated. Waiting for your valuable replies.
Regards,
Ravi.

Ravi,
It is good that the Handling unit is static. Is the Picking quantity Dynamic? If so, are they available somewhere in the system prior to you manually populating them in the delivery document?

QM Inspection stock With Handling unit (HU)

Hello,
Is there a possibility of creating a handling unit from
QM stock that has an inspection lot, from a non HU managed
Storage location, to a HU managed storage location.
Best Regards,
Itzik Eshed

Hello Maarten,
as far as I can see there are various reasons why the system behaves as described:
First of all I would check if the QM-Customizing for the inspection origin '01' is correct.
Second in the process described I would really like to know when the packing of the HUs is done. This must be done in a seperate step for the creation of the Inspection lot.
Third there is still the possibility to check if the Exit QAAT0001 is active, I would check if the coding here reflects the fact that you are using handling units.
I hope that this information can help you in this particular case.
